 Yeah, I love his game. He is a prototypical LT. His pass blocking is elite, but his run blocking will need a little work. He's a 10 year plug and play starter 

***Full disclosure- I havent seen cross this year but only read his scouting reports which seem really good

 

If he is a 10 year plug and play a la Slater then fuging draft him at 6 and stop being fuging cute with trading down.  Bite the GD bullet and draft.  Suck up the lost 2nd and learn from it.  Dont try and trade back for peanuts to just absorb a loss.

Can we not even talk about the draft until Rhule and Fitt are gone? The draft and offseason won't change a thing with those two fools running the show.

Fitt isnt the problem at all bro. He has gotten all the pieces here we need to be a great team. Its about execution and we dont have a competent coaching staff that can do that.

Great team?  What pieces are you talking about?  Darnold?

You don’t want to trade back and get some more outside skill position players?

My idea draft is ….. trade back, draft Cross around 15, then our highest pick we get back from trade down, draft Carson Strong (2nd round pick)

If I'm Rhule I'm going CB. Can't have enough.

Cross is going top 6 to 8. Take him there and figure out a way to get into the second for Strong

Uh no, that would take the 2022 1rst.   Let stop doing stupid poo in the draft and try and keep 2022 intact.

People might not like it, but trading DJ Moore is the best option to get several picks.

I was considering this awhile back but didn't want to ruffle the Jimmy's around here. You know how they get attached to players. 

I doubt they can afford to tie up more cap on skill players with the current configuration of the offense  It's time to put more investment in the oline one way or the other. And there's the QB conundrum thing to sort out with even more investment beyond what is already tied up.

Yep. Other teams will look at Moore as a young guy they can use and if he does get another 1000 yard season, he'll look that much more enticing even if they would have to extend and pay him.

I’m all for blowing it up to be honest.  Trade CMC and Burns for picks.  We need draft ammo to rebuild our offensive and defensive lines.

I just don't see CMC as someone that other teams will trade for with his contract and injury history. Since signing his extension, he's missed far more time than he's played and if I'm a GM, I'm not trading for that. I'd sign him for cheap once he was cut though.

How about we pick a very competent offensive lineman who can actually block? I know this concept is foreign under this regime but it is truly okay to draft a good offensive lineman in the first round. Who knows, maybe it will even keep our QB's jersey a little cleaner at games end.
